World Wheat Exports (Thousand Metric Tons)

Life after the Canadian Wheat Board

• August 1/2010 Federal Government deregulated the

purchase of wheat and barley in Western Canada that had been a monopoly

• Canadian Wheat Board or “CWB” as it is now known is a

competitor along with the private grain trade for the purchase

• f producers wheat and barley
• CWB’s new act allows them to trade in other commodities
• CWB has no grain facilities but has handling agreements

with the private trade both in the country locations and at the port

• CWB has both pooling options and forward contracts
